Sprint Showdown On The Champs-Élysées! | Tour De France 2022 Stage 21 Highlights
As ever, the Tour de France finishes with a procession into Paris, as those at the top of the GC sit back, sip champagne and congratulate themselves and their team mates on a job well done. For the sprinters however, the race is far from over. The fastest finishers face off once more in the informal yet no less prestigious “sprinters’ world championships” on the Champs-Élysées.

Awesome Tour 2022. So many stories. Magnus Cort breakaways. Magnus Cort super tight win. Shocking lose of Tadej on Col Du Granon. Matthews winning over Bettiol on that steep hill in Mende. Hugo Houle ♥️ Geshke fight for polka dot jersey with bitter ending 😢 Jonas waiting for Tadej when he fell down. And then there is Wout van Aert. Beating others in sprints, beating others from breakaways, winning time trial, third on Hautacam in green jersey. Love this guy. Love Tour de France. See you next year.
One of the most entertaining in recent memory. Such amazing sportsmanship. A shining light in a dark world. Thanks to all for their efforts and we hope to see you again next year.
Yeah he might be the New jalabert
Absolutely riveting! And the sportsmanship made it better than ever, truly human, truly manly,
Well said dude well said.. ☝🏻🤍❤️💛💚
@@ivanpotocka3803 All the jerseys! What a team
It is a wonderful thing to see a Yellow Jersey being so dominant that he picks up two mountain stages and the polka dot jersey. Vingegaard is a deserving champion! But it is the sacrifice of the team and it's members that I find most memorable in this tour. That, in my mind was shown on Stage 18 by Wout van Aert taking a flyer on the Hautacam and instead of heading for a stage victory, he was there to take over for hard working Sepp Kuss while leading Vingegaard to victory. Then...while rocketing to the finish during the time trial, and knowing he was so close to Wout Van Aerts winning time, Vingegaard took a hand off of the bars for a moment, seemingly let off of the gas just a bit and his teammate was assured of the win. That ladies and gentlemen is what true teamwork looks like. I hope you all had as good of a time as I did while enjoying this years Tour!
Very much the same as culture in Warriors' team!🤣🤣🤣
JV was definitely going for the stage win but made a mistake near the finish, I doubt he ever intended to give it to WvA
Thats what drugs will do for you, and before anyone says it's clean now catch yourself on, it's has never been clean in its whole history.
Best TdF in several years.Thanks to Pogacar, Wout, and Jonas.
Nope the idiot protesters messed it up more then once...messing up stages and causing injuries
Thank you GCN for a wonderful informative commentary on the Tour. It was an easy follow with daily updates and time keeping. Of course congrats to Jonas Vingegaard for showing how to be a true gentleman and great champion. He will always be remembered for waiting Pogacar to resume his lead after taking a spill... True champions shine when they are humble determined persistent and respectful to fellow competitors. May Vingegaard continue to win Tour many times over.
Loved. It. Happy 50th Tour Phil Liggett. He makes the entire tour amazing with his insights and call of events. 💙
Great job by the GCN team !
Congrats to TJV. The whole team was absolutely amazing. Amazing tactics, amazing skills and amazing riders. They all deserve the win.
Another one for the books. Where have the last 3 weeks gone? Amazing tour, well done to TJV, all the stage winners, all the jersey winners and all riders who made it to Paris! One of the best tours in recent memory, it’s had it all!!
Thank you for all these great stages summaries 🙏🏼 very entertaining, informative with a very nice voice ! Well done.
Fantastic tour!! Will go down in history that one I think!
well done-enjoyed every moment of the coverage-thank you
This TDF will be remembered for a long time for its good-natured competitiveness. And that Wout Van Vert bike logo is great wordplay.
Thanks for your coverage, thoroughly enjoyed it.
What a ride, this edition will forever be in my heart! Thanks for the show♥️
lots of luck and stay safe in this years tour ! thanks for all u do !
Thanks for all the great coverage
FInal stage as spectacular as the entire tour. Congratulation GCN racing for an excellent job.
Fantastic coverage, GCN. Best of the bunch this year. Job well done on an incredible spectacle of an event.
What an exhilarating 3 weeks!
Thank you for the great coverage and summaries, GCN!
Great to see a real battle this tour between the youth but I’m most impressed with Geraint Thomas’ third place. Very impressive race by Thomas & Ineos to get him on the podium.
I enjoyed every stage of Tour De France 2022. Thank you to superb highlights by GCN. Now i have my own dream to spectate next TDF live in France.
Best Tour in recent history. Thanks for the spectacle!
A pleasure to watch, great Tour.
👍 Отличная петля! Спасибо за работу GCN!
Excellent summary of the Tour amazing this year so many stories and battles out there.. true gladiators of cycling 🚴🏼♂️ 🤩🤩👍 chapeau to all the riders and teams 🤩🤩🤩🤩🚴
The TdF 2022 is now history. Great and amazing tour. Tremendous support, fantastic people, beautiful places, unbelievable athletes and best bikes. Congratulations to All especially to the Teams who showed us to never give up even to the most gruelling stages. We salute your courage and determination. Thank you GCN for the very extensive coverage 🙏 👏 ❤️ Cheers 🍻
Super commentary all the way through from that educated narrator and GCN. Yes, the 109th Tour was possibly the best ever. What brought me to tears, apart from the incredible endurance and strength of the riders was the top drawer sportsmanship they displayed. Beautiful.
Congrats to Jonas for the yellow jersey, Van Aert for Green and Pogi for white. This year TdF is trully amazing. Thanks GCN team for the daily recap. See you next year.
Why did vingegaard not also win white?
@@miloisdebeste You have to be born after 1st of January 1997 to qualify as young rider this year. Since Jonas was born on December 10, 1996, he can't win the jersey anymore.
After the dust settles I'd love GCN to do a program with the wattage and heart rates of the top riders.
Been cycling for only a few years.. But safe to say this is the best TDF and over the best racing I’ve ever seen. Chapeau
I was there in Champs Élysées!!! It was crazy !!! To live once in a lifetime !! Great !
Wonderfully reliable coverage yet again GCN, thank you. I'm assuming you're limited by rights but I would love some extended highlights next year
Incredible incredible tour 🔥
What an amazing tour, it was all happening till the end🤩🤩🤩
Its was an amazing and entertaining tout 2022 once again
Thanks for posting.
The first true Danish champion!
Watching from Zimbabwe Gokwe Nembudziya ❤️🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼👍
Well done Jonas! Fandeme godt kørt 🚵🏻💯🤴💯🚵🏻 Congratulations with your splendid victory! 🇩🇰✌🏻🇩🇰
Awesome Tour 2022 with so many great stories. Other than 1989, this was my favorite TDF. I'm sad that it's over!
Awesome tour
Chapeau Jumbo-Visma .. fantastic TdF !
Amazing, thanks guys
What a Tour. Great summaries every day too. Just think you could add a few minutes to them.
Awesome strength!
GCN, great job covering the TDF!!! The videos were superb. 2022 is the best TDF that I can recall since the victories by Cadel Evans (although Andy Schleck is what made that year great), and Bradley Wiggins (because it looked like Chris Froome could win it at any time, but for team orders). Gotta tip my hat to Wout. The man can sprint, climb, time trial, and is a team player.
Great ,wonderful , excellent and unbelievable tour de france.
Finally! I was waiting.
Kind of strange though to see the Green Jersey leader not caring about the sprint of all sprints!!
I was thinking the same... But a good marketing plan all coming across the line together. 😀👍
As they say in a French accent in Monty Python, "He's already got one." kzhead.info/sun/gJ19c6V-jJeoras/bejne.html
I think what he did on the Hautacam for the Yellow Jersey on Stage 18, and then winning the time trial on S.20 makes puts him among cycling's greats!
@@RickLincoln sure...but why let this one go?
@@pauljansen1137 maybe didn't want to appear to be too dominant just like the blue train of the US Postal lol
Epic battles between Jonas and tadej in TDF. Great win Jonas, well deserved. Stage 11 was the best stage of TDF 22'.
What a marvelous tour🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘
Different TDF. Glad to see Sagan show glimpses again. Hopefully not the end.
Stick a fork in Sagan. He's done.
So entertaining for this year, glad to witnessing Jonas as the new GC winner
I like the super combative. Nice Van Aert.. Congratulations to all
Like watching cycling from the 90's 2000's !
Congratulations to all the riders and the winners. Congratulations to the whole event for continuing this sport a 100 years later. And I hope it continues for the next million years. But that can only happen if we start taking care of the Earth.
Congrats jumbo vista. You are amazing team with strong riders as Wout Van Aert. Can’t believe his power, too strong 💪
The Guys and ladies who have just started. Are just amazing Athletes
Another SUPER TDF RACE….this classic race never disappoints 🚴🚴🚴Hats off to tv commentator Phil Liggett on his 50th TDF call👍/along with sidekick Bob Roll 25 th👍
Very entertaining TDF
Jumbo Visma took everything, except for the white jersey! Damn!
Oh. When you said TJV took everything I thought you might be meaning something else. That also?
@@isitrachelorj3953 cringe
@@StokesburyUSA I wonder....
The feeling that 1 must get when winning a trophy in an event like this must feel very awesome. Whether it's best climb or fastest time or Sprint or winning the whole event.
Fantastic Tour. Tadej not quite able to get three in a row, but he's still so young. Bernard Hinault never got three in a row either but he won five in total. Vingegaard with a spectacular Tour, winning the key mountain stages to get the overall. Is there anything Wout van Aert can't do? He could easily be a competitor for the GC if his team wanted him to be. Magnus Cort with his early attacks in every early stage got us off to a rousing start... And nice to see Jumbo Visma finally get a win.
im not a follower a cycling but i loved the fighting spirit of poca
I think this year's episode will be great for Netflix series 👍👏🏻
I was so paranoid that JV would get Covid before he could start stage 21. Very pleased to see the podium untouched by that.
I got a very big freakout Saturday. I had a dream where Jonas would fall on the ITT stage and only keeping the yellow for 2 seconds, and then Pogi would sprint on the last stage for bonus time and win yellow. When he almost fell in the descent in the ITT, my heart jumped, I was so freaked.
Team UAE , JUMBO VISMA AND INEOS very good job 👏 awesome win
merci à vous le créateur de la vidéo pour votre énergie sportive. thanks to you the creator of the video for your sports energy.
What a show guys, taking breath away huh?
best tour of last years....even if pogacar was 2nd..its ok....very nice TdF
The best tour in the world..TdF
Cav should have been there, 35 stage wins in the British champions jersey.
Agreed
Best tour in my memory. It had everything apart from the opportunity for the Manx Missile to take the most TdF stage wins.
See ya next year !
This Tour de France of 2022 has so far been the Best of all Tours to ever Put on History!!! 🏆 🇩🇰 Jonas Vingegaard 🇩🇰 🏆 2022 Le Tour de France Winner 👏
Vingegaard just destroyed Them All!
Can't help but think that Cav could've taken that last sprint! Great Tour though! Excited for the new generation!
I was thinking the same thing. What did Quick Step really gain by leaving him off? Jakobsen won a single stage, and didn't finish any higher than 5th in any other stage. I think Cav could have done just as well, and been more of a story as far as publicity, going for the stage win record. JMO
@@lloydhlavac6807 so true.
Yep, missed watching Cav!
Maybe Cav's potion of youth didn't work well for this year's Tour
Its been great tdf this year.. And yes one piece is missing, its cavendish.. Maybe next year & hope politics for not wanting him breaking merckx records will not kept him out of tdf..
The pizza jersey looks so cool
LINDO ESPORTE
Yes it was a very good Tour this year, but I don't think anything will ever beat 1989, and Greg Lemond's 8 seconds margin of overall victory against Laurent Fignon on the final stage TT. At least not for me.
Laurent was too proud to wear an aero helmet...
Its like uveliveable that we Denmark havent won a tour de france in 30 years rn) btw im from Denmark (danish) jonas vingegaard er en champ for hele Danmark vi har alle fulgt dig med helt fra starten. Det er velfortjent😌😇
Woohoo!
Tour de France The Great event
First Danish win since Mr 60 percent in 1996, how did Riis never loose his yellow jersey, he even admitted to doping.
So did Anquetil, Coppi, etc. Not to mention Pantani, Ulrich, etc.
Pogacar is the best young rider.. It means he will be the tough opponent of every cyclist in the next cycling competition.. Anyway, congratulations to all the riders especially to the winners
Still Sagan my favorite sprinter timeless
Top top top eu vivi para ver isso lol
❤️❤️❤️
Nice to see Philipsen win on the Champs- Élysées.
Hurry up next year!
Тур удался на славу и победил достойный человек.
What was Jumbo previous team name
The first legitimate Danish TDF win. Riis in '96? Oh my, Riis was sooooo juiced for July '96. I wouldn't diminish Vingegaard's victory by uttering Riis in the same breath.
Well now, lets not jump to any conclusions. Everyone says their clean until they get caught. Such is the world of top tier sports.
@@grimsonfart Ah, here come the baseless doping accusations again. Can we not just enjoy the sport?
Ha ha! Either you're trolling, or are incredibly naive.
@@Tibovl My only claim is to be aware, and even if i claimed they were doping it wouldn't be just a baseless accusation.
@@grimsonfart .. well, one thing that point in the direction of Vingegaard being clean is that his stage wins this year were 2 minutes or more slower than that of Riis and Pantani on the same stages, even though the preparations, training, bikes, technology and what have you, is vastly more advanced today than it was back then.
5:02 this man literally made it in life
Wout Van Aert Just needs a kid to hold on the Podium next year
First Danish win since 96... and the wheels go round.
Stage 11 was freaking fun to watch. It was similar to a 2019 stage when Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal's team attacked and won the tour.
Where was Van Aert? Of all the sprints to win this is the one.
Caleb Ewan rode the TDF? Wow, he was invisible! Yes, that's sarcasm.
he got too many accidents
Look at this way: Quintana had more sprint points that him.
you can say the same from peter sagan
Lantern rouge! Lol
Vi elsker dig Jonas Vingegaard😍🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🏍
